In this class, Kursten Hedgis talks about the ways in which herbs can offer support in this unique time of intense stress. Plants and herbs have lovely ancient knowledge they long to share with the human race. They not only provide direct physical and energetic support to the central nervous system, but their mere existence is a master class in surrender. The combination of CNS support and practicing deep acceptance and surrender can get us through this uncertain, shifting time. Kursten provides an in-depth discussion on specific plants for stress, as well as a beautiful, plant-based meditation to embody supreme surrender.

Sunday School at Modern Mystic Shop is a podcast where you listen in on live, free lectures from metaphysical experts, recorded every Sunday at Modern Mystic Shop in Atlanta, Georgia.

The next few classes will be held remotely until the shop reopens at a date TBD once gathering together is no longer a risk to public health.

Kursten Hedgis is a jack-of-all-trades, or more appropriately, a queen-of-all-cups, whose nurturing essence is endlessly drawn to all avenues of expressing and liberating the divine feminine.

She has been led to studies in communication and psychology, reiki master attunement, womb blessing goddess training, and herbalism certification that recently have all woven together to manifest the passion project of her life: Folk Care.

Folk Care is the convergence of divinity and destiny. Born from the labors of ancestral assistance and spirit-filled guidance, it is a space where the lore, love, and practice of herbalism, witchcraft, and metaphysics merge to bring ease and healing to others because some folk still care.

Kursten Hedgis of Folk Care opens the event with a powerfulplant connection meditationthat she uses before working with plants and closes with a deeplycomforting grounding meditation.

Kursten Hedgis leaps back into the Sunday School lineup with a bold conversation on a relevant topic that has dominated her life and study for the past year. Grief is one of the few things that we as a society avoid talking about, yet can never avoid experiencing. In a world that forces you to hold your grief close to the chest and keep it quiet, Kursten asks you to show up and stand boldly in the fullness of your grief to embrace the complexity of emotions that come in the wake of heartbreaking loss. Come learn how herbs, mantra, rituals, and stillness can help you invoke cycles of release and resilience while moving through loss.
